The company was founded as the Compagnie Franco-Chérifienne de
Navigation (CFCN) in 1946. The epithet "chérifien" refers to the Arab
word "charif", the title given to a Moslim prince descending from
Muhamat by Ali and Fatima. Since the current Moroccan dynasty is cherifian,
the Kingdom of Morocco is often nicknamed in French "the Cherifian Kingdom",
and "chérifien" is sometimes used as a synonym of "marocain". In 1959, the
company was renamed Comanav. In 1999, the Comanav owned 14 ships: 2 car
ferries, 2 polythermic ships, 5 container carriers and 5 roll-on/roll-off.
The ferry lines operate between Morocco (Tangiers, Nador) and France
(Sète), Spain (Algeciras, Almería), and Italy (Genoa).Ivan Sache, 02 Nov 2002

a branch of Comarit España S.L., whose flag
is simlar: Yellow rectangular flag, with a thin vertical blue stripe skewed

Well, I had a hard time determining which are
the Moroccan flags there: Anyway, I found 3 different
designs:Jorge Candeias, 16 Feb 1999

version #1

Dark blue with a white lozenge centered and a dark
blue "U" inside. The difference is in the "U": this has
a “standard” serif "U".Jorge Candeias, 16 Feb 1999

version #2

This is totally different: a black - yellow - red - yellow
- green horizontally striped flag with the red stripe much
wider than the others and containing an "A" capital in white
and in a square shape.Jorge Candeias, 16 Feb 1999

version #3

Dark blue with a white lozenge centered and a dark
blue "U" inside. The difference is in the "U": this has
little “horns” below, making is look a bit hand-drawn.Jorge Candeias, 16 Feb 1999
